Following on from the project we ran during June encouraging you to grow your body hair (FB event):
Here comes the workshop!
We will be meeting in the cafe at Site Gallery where we will have a discussion about issues raised and thoughts to carry forward. We will then put together pages to be collated into a zine that LaDIYfest will produce and distribute at future events.
SO come along with all your creative ideas including any pictures or poems or pieces of writing or diaries or illustrations you have put together – these should be on an a4 page and nice and clear to be photocopied into black and white. If you can’t make the workshop but still want to contribute to the zine project, then you can send us contributions to be included in the post, please message us for details.
All are welcome to the workshop, however hairy!
Please note this event will be run in line with LaDIYfest Sheffields ‘Safe Spaces‘ policy, so please take a minute to read if you haven’t already.
Saturday 28th July, 3pm -6pm.

About ladiyfestsheffield
LaDIYfest (noun) (pron; lay dee aye why fest)
LaDIYfest Sheffield is an inclusive, DIY, anti-capitalist, community-based feminist collective involved with local activism and a range of events and activities, culminating in a weekend of festivities at the end of the year. In 2012 we will be running a series of discussion groups and practical workshops discussing feminist issues whilst continuing to organise socials and fundraise for local community groups.
We want to create a celebration of women with an emphasis on the artistic, the creative and the political. We oppose the part that capitalism plays in the oppression of women. We want to raise awareness of women’s issues and engage local women with local women’s organisations to create a more equal society for everyone. We will do this by providing a platform to highlight feminist and LGBTQ art, projects and activism through music; performance art; spoken word; films; discussion; art exhibitions and practical workshops, promoting social change in a non-discriminatory environment.
LaDIYfest Sheffield is part of a global movement which grew out of the DIY and Riot Grrrl scenes. Since the first Ladyfest, which was held in Olympia USA in August 2000, feminists worldwide have adopted the name and organised Ladyfests in their own towns. We salute you for inspiring us to continue making this happen.
LaDIYfest Sheffield is organised by a collective of volunteers and led primarily by self identified women but anyone who shares our goals is welcome to get involved.
We hope people of all genders, abilities, ages, ethnicities and sexualities will feel welcome to participate!
